It was quite busy at Plato's Closet today. Shoppers started lining up outside the teen inspired new store around 7:30 in the morning, about three hours before its grand opening.

Plato's Closet is a retail store for teens and twenty somethings who want to buy and sell their latest looks in gently used clothing and accessories according to owner Melody Watson.

"I was a full time mom before I started this," said the mother of three who about five weeks ago did not have any inventory in the store.

Inside the store shoppers can find some of the famous brand of clothing like Abercrombie & Fitch, J Crew and Old Navy.

One mom taking advantage of the grand opening was Ilah Blackett, a resident of Aubrey, who waited to take her four teenagers shopping.

"We did not even do any tax income, tax free shopping because we knew we were going to come here," Blackett said.

"We expected the crowd of a few up front. But then before we opened the line was behind the building," Watson said.

Plato's Closet is located next to Catherine's across from SuperTarget on Loop 288.
